Illegal Entry and Overstay
Under German law, foreign nationals may face criminal liability if they enter Germany without authorization or remain in the country unlawfully (Section 95(1) Nos. 1–3 of the German Residence Act – AufenthG).
Human Smuggling
Under Sections 96 and 97 of the German Residence Act (AufenthG), it is a criminal offence to assist, organize, or facilitate the unauthorized entry or unlawful stay of foreign nationals in Germany. Prosecuting authorities pursue these cases with particular rigor.
Immigration Law
German immigration law governs entry, residence, and employment in Germany—from visas and residence permits to tolerated stay (Duldung), expulsion, and deportation. In criminal immigration law, it is often decisive because criminal investigations can quickly trigger serious immigration consequences.
